“I was pretty sure I was watching a classic, one that will be around for a long time, and make many generations of fans [...] Like “The Wizard of Oz,” “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” “Star Wars” and “E.T.,” it isn’t just a movie but a world with its own magical rules. And some excellent Quidditch players”
